    NO. It was a pretty close fight but he wasn't robbed. Castillo actually did better in the first with Mayweather but the cards were more lopsided in Mayweather's favor than in the second, that is at least how I remember it.

      From what I remember Castillo looks like he won the fight but PBF got the benefit of the doubt in close rounds. That's why rematch was made and PBF proved he was more than a gifted fighter.

          I still see that no one has uploaded the fight so we can put this to rest and actually see why Floyd is still undefeated.

            I think you need to add one thing to the poll: DRAW.

            I scored the fight 114-114, even. I thought it was a very close fight that could've gone either way. I wouldn't have whinned if either fighter got the nod. However, Mayweather came back and proved he was the better fighter in the rematch.

              Upload the fight to see what? We all know it was close fight and it was a "questionable" decision. I can understand thinking either guy won the fight, which in no way makes it definitiveor a robbery . Punchstats are a good indicator of who won a fight but are in no way the sole indicator (that is the scoring sytem in boxing so if you don't like it then that is your problem). What is a FACT is that it will go down as a Mayweather victory so lets just end the discussion at that.

                A I hear u, Im all for that, but its alot of other people who feel otherwise, I want them to point out where he was losing and where he was doing all this running they say he was doing.

                  Running = I'm pissed because Floyd Mayweather didn't lose. What did these people want him to do stand right in front of Castillo like Corrales and get his head taken off? They call it running... I call it ring intelligence and strategy. You do what you have to do to win... not look good. Floyd looked great against Gatti and he stood in there because he could. Castillo was a different kind of fighter so he changed the gameplan. Seems pretty standard to me I don't see what all the whining is about.
